The election is getting kind of boring. We've had the Barack's minister scandal then the Hillary's imaginary Bosnian snipers scandal and we're still nearly away from the Pennsylvania primary. (Of course, if the Franklin County Board of Elections had just sent me my absentee ballet, this'd all be over by now. I was the missing Ohio swing vote.) Luckily, the folks over at the New York Times have found a way to make the election interesting and relevant lulz-worthy again with their feature on microtrends. Pollsters want to predict your vote based on what cereal you eat! Check it out:

You Might Be a Clinton Supporter if... you like Boca burgers.

You Might Be a McCain Supporter if... you like Power Bars.

You Might Be an Obama Supporter if... you like olive oil.

But what if I like Sun Chips, Panera Bread, and Whole Paycheck Foods? What if I have no idea what my beef ate (before I ate it)? Who's going to market to me? How the hell do I decide who to vote for now?

Also: Since when is fishing a form of exercise, hypothetical John McCain supporters? I thought it was most sitting and waiting for something to bite.
